Skoda make good cars now because it’s owned by Volkwagon. The Nexus 1 is a good phone because it’s made by HTC. That's my point. Everyone knows the N1 is just a branded HTC handset, so why would anyone choose it over the Desire? Surely it’s better to have the real McCoy? If the Desire will be available on contract in the UK before the N1, the Vodaphone store assistant is hardly going to say “but if you wait a couple of weeks the N1 will be released”. Seriously, how would you sell the N1 to average Joe??? This whole ‘Google Phone’ thing just seems like a pointless marketing exercise.
